Call it new-age dating but nearly one in four women now go on a date not for the sake of romance or building a long-term relationship but grabbing a free meal, an interesting study has revealed. The new phenomenon is a “foodie call” where a person sets up a date with someone they are not romantically interested in, for the purpose of getting a free meal. New research finds that 23 to 33 per cent of women in an online study admitted they have engaged in a “foodie call”.

They answered a series of questions that measured their personality traits, beliefs about gender roles, and their “foodie call” history. They were also asked if they thought a “foodie call” was socially acceptable. Twenty-three per cent of women in this first group revealed they’d engaged in a “foodie call”. The researchers also note that “foodie calls” could occur in many types of relationships, and could be perpetrated by all genders.read more
